Not that its a bad idea but My winch is on the back just behind the license plate area.
I like the idea of pulling myself out of what I got stuck in not digging myself in deeper.
I don't mean to knock this tach but I would rather mod the vacuum pump shaft and run a mechanical tach.
Has no one in the past thought of this ?
I run a Vertex Mag with a shaft drive tach on my M1028 that's where the thought came from.
And then there is always the tach stud on the back of...
I did this in a old 78 GMC that looked just about identical to the M1008 gauge cluster.
Sorry I didn't have a camera at that time so no pics and I ended up selling the cluster on eBay as it had a tach, which was a rare option in that year model.
I used the thin sheet metal overlay that covers...
Replaced all of the glass and rubber parts on the M1008 and installed a speedo driven gear on the M1028,s NP205 TC.
The only trouble I had was making the speedo cable hook up to it as I have a feeling its in a different spot than the one that goes into the M1008,s NP208 TC.
Anyone know if...
My local parts monkey has these numbers for the full size CHevrolet truck dash pad although he says that the 81-84 is different than the 85-86 and not available.

The truck is a 1984-1985 CUCV M1028 and M1008.
Yes I looked in the TM with no luck thus far.
Ahh I see its not allowed to mix wiring from dash wiring tail light wiring cant hang here. Point taken will start new thread from this point forward, Gracias.
Here is the harness that the short...
Since this thread is about wiring I figured id start from this spot and not start another thread or at least give this a shot before I fire up another new thread.
I need a source for the little harnesses that the rear harness plugs into.
IE the harnesses each have a round female plug that...
My Civy and M1008 frame brackets were a little different.
IE the M1008 model that I removed had some extra gusseting that the civy 454 frame bracket did not have.
There was a slight difference in what the engine height was after the swap.
About 1 inch or so higher with the 454 frame...
I’m sure I am being redundant to a majority of yall here but there are 3 components to an engine mount.
The frame bracket / mount, IE the parts that is bolted to the frame with 6 7/16 bolts.
The steel / rubber sandwich part that the bolts to the frame bracket with 3 3/8 bolts.
The motor...
IMO if the weight of the trailer does not exceed the weight of the towing vehicle your good to go.
I spotted this page that talks about the trailer, Have a read it might answer some of your questions.

Ahhh yes the little stud on the back of the 27SI type 100, 100 amp alternator.
IE the type 200 from what I have seen has a totally different mounting feet and arm.
My M1028 didnt have the TC thats in it now.
I received the truck without a Engine Transmission and transfer case.
I put a 454 Engine with a T400 trans and the 205 TC (NIB) that I bought from a friend that sells MV parts.
The PTO that mounts on the NP205 can be a shaft drive and the one...

I have the same 24 inch or so x 3.5-4 inch wide bracket on the dash and wondered what it was for.
I also had the angle bracket on the passenger floor area and pulled it for the same reasons IE it was in the way of the passengers feet.
I saw a radio control or something of that nature in a...
The adapter came from the same outfit as the PTO Ill get a pic of the box it came in the part # should be on it.
It was the aluminum adapter to swap out with the bearing retainer that was on the PTO originally and a new shaft and gaskets.

I remember a tale a friend told me about him making contact with his M113 or something of a tracked nature .
This happened in the San Pedro area of California.
